Scientists studying huge ocean animals have started using computers that learn on their own to listen to clicking sounds and try to figure out what the animals might be saying to each other.

Which giant ocean animal are scientists trying to understand using these smart listening computers?

Whales
Scientists are using computers that learn on their own, called AI, to study the clicking sounds sperm whales make, hoping to understand patterns that might be like a whale language.

Whales are correct — scientists are using AI, computers that learn patterns on their own, to study the clicking sounds sperm whales make, hoping to figure out whether those clicks form something like a whale language.

Ants and butterflies communicate in their own fascinating ways, using scent trails or wing patterns, but they aren't the giant ocean animals being studied with sound-analyzing AI here.

Sperm whales make some of the loudest sounds of any animal on Earth, and their clicks form patterns similar to an alphabet, part of why researchers are hopeful AI could help decode them.
